I agree with Steve on this one.
That is a mighty fine looking fork you have there.
Where did you get it from?
Don't take any notice of what the others say as they have no sense of enrichment,
Quality can only be seen & appreciated by those who believe . . . 
Cheers Alex

Perfect 007...that's what I'm thinking. Here's a crude example of my bike w/out tank badge and I've added a (photoshop) grunge fork decal.

Here you go Woody...Link You can buy the bucket separate too. Modification required like using the mounting bracket from the old Triumph light, some cutting at the bottom of the bucket to allow more room for the wire harness and (in my case) paint the chrome bezel. All in all (with patience), it looks great for only a few bucks.

Probably go with this (custom size) Link and relocate the front reflectors...it'll standout and look nice against the silver forks.
